Chicago Bulls - Utah Jazz Game Thread.

Unless there's a 2nd scorer to emerge, I don't see the Jazz taking control of this game. They might make it close, but that's about it.

58-50 halftime.

 

[Sackataters]

Al, the ONLY constant. Let him walk if you want, but...

 

[Sackataters]

Haha, Boozer on Al ... Kind of funny.

 

[nuraman00]

60-57.

 

[Sackataters]

Ooooo, Paul got a friendly roll there. Coming back...3 point game. We have to rebound better.

 

[Sackataters]

Is he a great defensive player...NO. Don't water it down there Harp, tell it like it is.

 

[nuraman00]

I think the Jazz need Rondo from his wheel chair to keep Robinson off the boards.

Millsap isn't even a good defensive player IMO. He might get a steal or two, but he's too small, and he fouls too much.

His fouls just give free points to the opposing player.

He doesn't even foul like he used to, just kind of goes with the flow.

I didn't hate Carlos. I just wish he was more durable and tougher.

 

[nuraman00]

I wonder why Tinsley isn't posting up Robinson. Not because Robinson is small, but because Tinsley actually has a nice post-up game, with footwork.

 

[Sackataters]

There going to try and interview Burks now tonight. Get language line on the horn.

 

[Sackataters]

Blue Edwards? That was before my Jazz time.

Few players are durable.

Some of the top PFs -- Aldridge, Randolph, Love, also miss a decent amount of games every year.

Most players in most sports get hurt, it's just the way sports are.

Jefferson may be healthy now, but it won't last. Odds are that he'll get injured.

There really doesn't seem to be a rhyme or reason why the few durable players are the way they are. Russell Westbrook takes as much contact as anyone, but has never missed a game, not even in HS.

Probably 0.1% of all athletes are durable, in sports.

And it's not about salary either. Minimum salary players have season ending injuries the same as max players.

What are the odds that you get a Stockton and a Malone on the same team then? Or, maybe it was just a different era. If you read the Sloan thread, there was a story about Jerry playing with broken ribs.

bulls getting tired

 

[Sackataters]

Sonic commercial, I could use some of their breaded cheese sticks right now. All the rest of their food is rubbish.

 

[Sackataters]

They out rebounded Boozer there, twice in a row.

 

[Sackataters]

You were right, Booz is a under appreciated passer. A few nice set ups I've noticed.

 

[Sackataters]

Al is unconscious.
